Comparative StudyCritical care medicine: observations from the Department of Veterans Affairs' intensive care units.
To study the critical care medicine programs of the Department of Veterans Affairs. ⋯ The results of this study suggest that the Department of Veterans Affairs would benefit from increasing the number of critical care medicine board eligible/certified directors, and increasing the program's participation in accredited critical care medicine fellowship training programs and research endeavors.
